Sankuaicuo Old Station Introduction

Sankai Station (Old Sankai Station) began operations in February 1908 (the 41st year of the Meiji era). Sankai Station served both passenger and freight services, with a primary focus on cargo transportation, significantly contributing to the transport of finished products for the Taiwan Brick Company located to its north. Overall, Sankai Station can be considered an important railway station, second only to the old Dagou Station (now Kaohsiung Port Station) before the opening of the current Kaohsiung Railway Station in June 1941 (the 16th year of the Showa era). The existing station building was completed in 1923 (the 12th year of the Taisho era) and is a Japanese-style wooden railway station. As industrial activities moved out of the area, the old Sankai Station was closed in 1986. In 2004, the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Kaohsiung City designated the old Sankai Station as a city monument. In 2008, due to the deterioration of the station building, Taiwan Railways decided to carry out repairs, and the renovation of the station was completed in 2012, with the old station located about 50 meters from the new station.
